Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

The Faith & Liberty Monday Report

Aug 12, 2024

Faith & Liberty team members have come back rested and refreshed after spending time in the presence of the Lord at our three-day annual retreat. We met in southern Virginia and especially enjoyed prayer walks along a river near the Potomac. It’s so peaceful to hear the water lapping along the shore — and such a contrast to the ongoing activity of Capitol Hill.

We prayed for each member of Congress, for wisdom and discernment as they represent their constituents. We prayed they would focus on the important issues of life, religious freedom, and the need to return to our roots as a nation. We also remembered their staff members, congressional interns, and all who work on the Hill.

We prayed for our ministry at Faith & Liberty and — gratefully — for our supporters, including all the requests you sent our way (Thank you!). Of course, praying for you doesn’t stop when the retreat is over!

We also thanked God for all the ways Faith & Liberty and Liberty Counsel Ministries have been able to connect with the young adults coming through our Ministry Center or meeting us at our events.

Your responsibilities may not permit you to be able to get away for a retreat, but if possible, let us encourage you to dedicate some focused time to the Lord in prayer. If not, we know the Lord hears our prayers no matter where, when, or how we offer them.

We know you care about our country as much as we do, so let us leave with you a question: Have you prayed for your members of Congress today?

COMING SOON

  • Patty Bills and Peggy Nienaber have been working on a She Leads America Women’s Reception to be held at our Ministry Center in September. This will be a prayer and meet-and-greet time for the ladies to get acquainted and learn about the events of the week, plus share how Faith & Liberty is serving on Capitol Hill. Members have also been invited to the Women’s Congressional Prayer Breakfast, which is part of the She Leads America event.
  • Faith & Liberty will participate in the Dignity of Women Sports Lunch on Capitol Hill. Led by Dr. Madeline Manning Mims and Chandra Cheeseborough, both gold and silver Olympic track medalists, this event will inform the media about this important topic. These past Olympians will share their thoughts on fairness in women's sports along with advocate and NCAA volleyball player Macy Petty and other speakers.
  • Faith & Liberty will co-host a screening of the Unthinkable documentary, an Abby Johnson film exposing the dirtiest secrets of the abortion industry. The screening will be in the U.S. Capitol on September 25.
  • In September, Faith & Liberty will host the #Let Them Choose conference at the Ministry Center. The Alliance for Israel Advocacy has asked members of Congress to address attendees about a plan for Gaza.
  • Planning has begun for the Officer Recognition Award ceremony to be held in October where Faith & Liberty will recognize those who serve in law enforcement on Capitol Hill.

PRAYER
Pray that God would turn the hearts of our nation’s leaders to follow His ways. Pray for protection for all the candidates and for the integrity of elections across America.

Pray for meaningful opportunities for our members of Congress to connect with their constituents in their districts (until September 9). Pray also for opportunities to meet and pray with congressional staffers while the members are away.

Thank the Lord for a restful and prayerful annual retreat!

Pray for our many upcoming events, that details would fall into place, and that all who attend would be blessed.

Pray for all who attend our Bible studies, that God’s Word would bear spiritual fruit in their lives. Pray that new staffers and interns would come and make studying the Scriptures a priority in their busy schedules!
Pray for each staff member, donor, and volunteer supporting the ministry of Faith & Liberty, that God would help them with their concerns and be glorified in their lives.
